"Debt ceiling is something that, you know, any time the president asks
for the authority to increase the debt ceiling, the debt burden on our
children and grandchildren, I think that requires a pretty serious
discussion, robust debate. And at a minimum we should include
in that debt ceiling, you know, further – some kind of fiscal
discipline, or some kind of reform for the entitlement programs so those
things are more solvent, can be saved for the very same kids and
grandkids that is gonna shoulder the burden, that are currently paying
the bills." - Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
